Toronto's concert calendar for Saturday, October 17, is led by a Canadian folk-rock institution: Bruce Cockburn plays Massey Hall, at 178 Victoria Street in downtown Toronto. Event listings for the week of October 12 to 18 list the show as a ticketed evening performance.
Cockburn's Massey Hall date sits in a dense run for the historic venue, which hosts a near-nightly October slate of folk, rock and benefit concerts. A theatre show from a songwriter with a five-decade catalogue is a different proposition from the arena concerts filling Scotiabank Arena the same weekend, and Massey Hall's acoustics suit his guitar-driven catalogue.
The same Toronto weekend includes arena comedy and the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon, so downtown venues expect busy streets and transit. Concert-goers are advised to check the venue's official event page for door times and ticket availability before travelling.
Tickets for the October 17 concert are listed through Massey Hall and major outlets. The show is part of the hall's fall season in Ontario's capital, ahead of further Massey Hall dates later in October including a charity benefit concert and folk performances.
